Marshall, Texas, 1883–1909
View through CrossRef
This chapter presents a historical analysis of Nixon's character and his formative years growing up in the racially charged South. He was born on February 9, 1883, to Jennie Valerie Engledow and Charles Blanton Nixon in Marshall, Texas, as the eldest of five. Charles Nixon was employed by the Texas and Pacific Railway Company, which eventually enabled his son to spend his childhood within a diverse neighborhood in New Orleans. His childhood also coincided with a period of social and political unrest, during which time race relations had dramatically deteriorated. Notwithstanding the political turmoil, however, the Nixon family would return to Marshall in the early 1890s, where Nixon would complete his undergraduate degree before leaving for Meharry Medical College in Tennessee. Later on, Nixon would eventually marry his childhood sweetheart, Esther Josephine Calvin, and establish his medical practice in Cameron, Texas.
